or all religions. while intended this bill would violate years of precedence interpreting the establishment clause. in committees for public education, the 1973 case which upheld the principles and board of education from 1947, the u.s. supreme court held that no taxpayer funds could be used for maintenance and repair of facilities in which religious activities take place. explaining, quote, if a state cannot erect buildings in religious activities take place, it may not maintain such buildings or renovate them when they call into disrepair. accordingly, long-standing precedent specifically holds that taxpayer funds cannot go to construct, rebuild, or repair buildings used for religious activities. the types of buildings that this bill seeks to make eligible for direct government funds houses of worship are inherently used for religious activities and the bill would have the effect of unconstitutionally funneling taxpayer money for religious activities. other cases have also held the precedent establis

there is no formal discrimination there based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. the only thing someone might be able to claim is there are more college graduates who are nonminority than minority and you might be able to argue there's discrimination. that's the type of thing i think a court would find perfectly appropriate. it goes on all the time. so often if i have a job that i'm really skilled in that job but i don't have the background to move to the higher position, they bring in someone i have to train to be able to do my level of work and then they get a higher salary, they get bumped up to the higher positions and i stay where i am. that's very common. unfortunately it's not illegal. the first question you ask is about state people doing federal work. so many of the federal statutes give money to the states, different welfare provisions, different unemployment compensations under the unemployment tax, which is a federal tax, but the states run those services subject to certain minimum requirements. where you work for the state formally, are you a
